Prosthetics - Structural testing of lower-limb prostheses - Requirements and test methods (ISO 10328:2016)

IMPORTANT — This International Standard is suitable for the assessment of the conformity
of lower limb prosthetic devices/structures with the strength requirements specified in 4.4
of ISO 22523:2006 (see NOTE 1). Prosthetic ankle-foot devices and foot units on the market,
which have demonstrated their compliance with the strength requirements specified in 4.4
of ISO 22523:2006 through submission to the relevant tests of ISO 10328:2006, need not be
retested to ISO 22675:2016.
WARNING — This International Standard is not suitable to serve as a guide for the selection of a
specific lower limb prosthetic device/structure in the prescription of an individual lower limb
prosthesis! Any disregard of this warning can result in a safety risk for amputees.
This International Standard specifies procedures for static and cyclic strength tests on lower-limb
prostheses (see NOTE 2) which typically produce compound loadings by the application of a single test
force. The compound loads in the test sample relate to the peak values of the components of loading
which normally occur at different instants during the stance phase of walking.
The tests described in this International Standard comprise
— principal static and cyclic tests for all components;
— a separate static test in torsion for all components;
— separate static and cyclic tests on ankle-foot devices and foot units for all ankle-foot devices as single
components including ankle units or ankle attachments and all foot units as single components;
— a separate static ultimate strength test in maximum knee flexion on knee joints and associated
parts for all knee units or knee-shin-assemblies and adjacent components that normally provide the
flexion stop on a complete prosthesis;
— separate static and cyclic tests on knee locks for all mechanisms which lock the knee joint in the
extended position of the knee unit or knee-shin-assembly.
The tests described in this International Standard apply to specific types of ankle-disarticulation
prostheses (see NOTE 2), to transtibial (below-knee), knee-disarticulation and transfemoral (aboveknee)
prostheses and to the distal (lower) part of hip-disarticulation and hemi-pelvectomy prostheses
(see NOTE 3).
NOTE 1 The tests can be performed on complete structures, on part structures or on individual components.
NOTE 2 The tests only apply to ankle-disarticulation prostheses which include (foot) components of prosthetic
ankle-foot devices taken from the normal production line.
NOTE 3 The distal part comprises the knee unit, the ankle-foot device and all parts between. Tests on hip
units are described in ISO 15032.

Prothèses - Essais portant sur la structure des prothèses de membres inférieurs - Exigences et méthodes d'essai (ISO 10328:2016)

IMPORTANT ? ISO 10328:2016 permet d'évaluer la conformité des prothèses/structures prothétiques de membre inférieur selon les exigences concernant la résistance spécifiées en 4.4 de l'ISO 22523:2006 (voir la NOTE 1). Les unités de pied et les ensembles cheville-pied prothétiques commercialisés, conformes aux exigences concernant la résistance spécifiées en 4.4 de l'ISO 22523:2006 après soumission aux essais appropriés de l'ISO 10328:2006, sont réputés conformes à l'ISO 22675:2016.
AVERTISSEMENT ? ISO 10328:2016 ne peut pas servir de guide pour choisir une prothèse/structure prothétique lors de la prescription d'une prothèse de membre inférieur ! Ignorer cet avertissement peut entraîner des risques pour la sécurité des personnes amputées.
ISO 10328:2016 spécifie des modes opératoires d'essais de résistance statiques et cycliques des prothèses de membres inférieurs (voir la NOTE 2) qui produisent typiquement des contraintes combinées par l'application d'une force d'essai unique. Les contraintes combinées dans l'échantillon d'essai correspondent aux valeurs maximales des composantes des forces qui interviennent normalement à différents moments au cours de la phase d'appui du cycle de marche.

Protetika - Preskušanje strukture protez spodnjih okončin - Zahteve in preskusne metode (ISO 10328:2016)

POMEMBNO: ta mednarodni standard je primeren za oceno skladnosti protetičnih pripomočkov/struktur za spodnje okončine z zahtevami glede trdnosti, določenimi v točki 4.4 standarda ISO 22523:2006 (glej OPOMBA 1). Protetičnih pripomočkov za gleženj in stopalo ter enot za stopalo, ki so na voljo na tržišču in dokazano izpolnjujejo zahteve, podane v točki 4.4 standarda ISO 22523:2006, na podlagi opravljenih ustreznih preskusov v skladu s standardom ISO 10328:2006, ni treba znova preskusiti v skladu s standardom ISO 22675:2016.
OPOZORILO: ta mednarodni standard ni primeren za uporabo kot vodilo za izbiro določenega protetičnega pripomočka/strukture za spodnje okončine pri predpisovanju posamezne proteze za spodnje okončine. Morebitno neupoštevanje tega opozorila lahko pomeni varnostno tveganje za amputirance. Ta mednarodni standard določa postopke za preskušanje statične in ciklične trdnosti protez za spodnje okončine (glej OPOMBA 2), pri katerih se običajno ustvarijo sestavljene obremenitve na podlagi uporabe enkratne preskusne sile. Sestavljene obremenitve v preskusnem vzorcu se navezujejo na najvišje vrednosti sestavnih delov obremenitve, ki se običajno pojavijo v različnih obdobjih faze drže pri hoji.
Preskusi, opisani v tem mednarodnem standardu:
– glavni statični in ciklični preskus za vse sestavne dele;
– ločen statični preskus pri torziji za vse sestavne dele;
– ločen statični in ciklični preskus za pripomočke za gleženj in stopalo ter enote za stopalo za vse pripomočke za gleženj in stopalo kot samostojne sestavne dele, vključno z enotami za stopalo ali pripomočki za gleženj, ter za vse enote za stopalo kot samostojne sestavne dele;
– ločen statični preskus skrajne trdnosti v največjem upogibu kolena za kolenske sklepe in povezane dele za vse enote za koleno ali sestave za koleno in golen ter soležne sestavne dele, ki običajno zagotavljajo blokado upogiba pri celotni protezi;
– ločen statični in ciklični preskus za kolenske blokade za vse mehanizme, ki blokirajo kolenski spoj v iztegnjenem položaju kolenske enote ali sestava za koleno in golen.
Preskusi, opisani v tem mednarodnem standardu se uporabljajo za posebne vrste protez za disartikulacijo gležnja (glej OPOMBA 2), transtibialne (podkolenske) proteze, proteze za disartikulacijo kolena in transfemoralne (nadkolenske) proteze ter proteze za disartikulacijo distalnega (spodnjega) dela kolka in proteze, ki se uporabljajo po hemipelvektomiji (glej OPOMBA 3).
OPOMBA 1: preskuse je mogoče opraviti za celotne strukture, dele struktur ali posamezne sestavne dele.
OPOMBA 2: preskusi se uporabljajo samo za proteze za disartikulacijo gležnja, ki vključujejo sestavne dele (za stopalo) protetičnih pripomočkov za gleženj in stopalo, vzete iz običajne proizvodne linije.
OPOMBA 3: distalni del zajema enoto za koleno, pripomoček za gleženj in stopalo ter vse vmesne dele. Preskusi za kolčne enote so opisani v standardu ISO 15032.

Annex ZA
(informative)
Relationship between this European Standard and the Essential
Requirements of EU Directive 93/42/EEC [OJ L 169] aimed to be covered
This European standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardisation request ‘M/023
concerning the development of European standards related to medical devices’ to provide one
voluntary means of conforming to essential requirements of Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June
1993 concerning medical devices [OJ L 169].
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
NOTE 1 Where a reference from a clause of this standard to the risk management process is made, the
risk management process needs to be in compliance with Directive 93/42/EEC as amended by
2007/47/EC. This means that risks have to be reduced ‘as far as possible’, ‘to a minimum’, ‘to the lowest
possible level’, ‘minimized’ or ‘removed’, according to the wording of the corresponding essential
requirement.
NOTE 2 The manufacturer’s policy for determining acceptable risk has to be in compliance with
Essential Requirements 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 of the Directive.
NOTE 3 This Annex ZA is based on normative references according to the table of references in the
European foreword, replacing the references in the core text.
NOTE 4 When an Essential Requirement does not appear in Table ZA.1, it means that it is not
addressed by this European Standard.
